2.2.1
RF RADIATION WARNING
Recommended safety guidelines for the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are contained
in the Canadian Safety Code 6 and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65. Proper installation
of the transceiver antenna of GeminiG3 radiomodem as summarized in section 2.5 will result in user exposure sub-
stantially below the recommended limits for the general public.
Qualified personnel must do all antenna installations. See paragraph 2.5.2 for recommended antenna positioning.
Transmissions when persons or animals outside the vehicle are within two feet of the antenna may result in radio
energy radiation burns or related injuries.
2.2.2
INTERFERENCE WITH VEHICULAR ELECTRONICS
Certain vehicle electronic devices may be prone to malfunction due to lack of protection from radio frequency en-
ergy present when transmitting.
It includes, and is not limited to:
•
Electronic fuel injection systems
•
Electronic anti-skid braking systems
•
Electronic cruise control systems
If the installation vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his aid in
determining if such electronic circuits will perform normally when the radio is transmitting.
2.2.3
SECURE MOUNTING
For vehicle occupant(s) safety, mount the GeminiG3 radiomodem securely so that the unit will not break loose in
case of an accident or violent maneuvers.
2.2.4
EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Operation of vehicular radio transmitters in explosive environments may be hazardous and conventional safety
precautions must prevail. These include and are not limited to:
•
Transmitting while fuelling the vehicle. Do not carry fuel containers in the same compartment as the
GeminiG3 unit.
•
Dynamite blasting caps may explode when transmitting radio operation takes place within 500 feet.
Always obey the
“Turn Off Two-Way Radios”
signs posted at sites where dynamite is being used.
If transporting blasting caps,
(check applicable local bylaws)
be aware to:
a)
Carry the blasting caps in an appropriate metal container having a soft cushioning lining.
